Curated for you, by me.
Cookit was founded by me, Emily - nicknames include Em, Emmy, Emo, Silvers and Juice. Gift giving is and always has been my love language.
I collect cookbooks, mostly for aesthetic reasons. I’m a home cook who learnt and loved to cook from my Aussie Mum and Egyptian Grandma.
Mum always taught me to clean the kitchen as you go and Grandma encouraged me to always use plenty of salt.
Christmas 2021 I was given a cookbook and for a change, I actually sat down and read it cover to cover. I was inspired by the stories behind the recipes and began imagining the ingredients, serveware, vibrant colours and tablescapes that could be paired with each dish.
This moment sparked the idea for what eventually became - Cookit.
Each Cookit gift box begins with a cookbook and every other item within the box has been carefully curated to suit the theme of the book.
Every box contains products and ingredients from amazing Australian and New Zealand brands that will last long enough to create special memories in your home, kitchen or dining table.
